I think no one will try to persuade you that the terms are not incorrect. But I think they are good enough for explaining the problem they are trying to solve. I wouldn’t say that they are ”intentionally misleading” , more like trying to b

I see nothing typical in a terrible CEO that causes such turnover among all the company. Growing pains are communication issues, less transparency, confusing career path, bad onboarding, etc. This is not that.

No, no it is not correct. They replied and they are paid with PayPal, not Bitcoin.

Search for unicorn startups in Brazil (there aren’t that much) and look for devs from those places on LinkedIn. The tech talent is usually good. If you pay US salaries, by mentioning salary upfront you will have a lot of interest. If you pa

You are underpaid. There are two types of American companies hiring devs from LatAm. The ones that are actively recruiting in LatAm and the ones that just hire remote and don’t mind you are out of the US. The actively recruiting ones are tr

If I got your comment right, I agree that Brazilian devs that are not good devs that are paid well are not good devs.

I worked as a software developer in one company in Brazil and in three American companies. The skill gap was non-existent. I could see the same level of talent in both places.

> ” If someone is very money-driven, there’s nothing we can do.” I am very far from “very money-driven”. I worked for a long time in the non-profit sector that would pay much less than mostly any of my other careers options. Then I cha

I agree, but I don’t think is necessarily the “first” bullet point or question that gets attention. It’s the one the reader cares most (positively or negatively), or it’s easier to understand/answer.

” This fatigue cannot be cured by decades of not hearing it.” But it also can. I caught myself enjoying old one hit wonders that I hated at the time due to listening to it so much. Then decades later, I could enjoy them.

I only look for jobs at small companies and my preferred places to look are the HN’s “Who is hiring?” thread and Angellist. My last 3 jobs came from these two sources.

Doing “nothing” in a different part of the planet is my kind of vacation. Those “spectacular” things might be there occasionally, but I don’t optimize for them. I optimize for having a good time with people I care in places where we get kno

As a developer, I mostly agree with this. But I was talking about that with a friend that works in finance and he thinks just saying “hello” is ok in his context. The difference in context is the length of the subsequent conversation. If it

Also, HoloLens. I think they are going for the Ready Player 1 version of the metaverse. Edit: scratch that reference. I realized HoloLens is AR, not VR. And just saw that they are marketing HoloLens 2 to business use cases.

I got it now. Yes, Twitter is a walled garden, even if it has large windows to see most of things, there is definitely a wall there. The tricky part is that if this was published in a static html page it would be less likely that it would r

Twitter threads don’t bother me. The brain quickly adapts to skipping the irrelevant parts (username, like buttons, etc) and to expecting the cadency of tweets. I believe it is harder to write (due to the character limit of each text block

> ” Am I wrong? Is software really not that hard, and able to be learned later in life?” What? Of course you are wrong. It sounds completely alien to me why someone would even have such doubt. It sounds arrogant too. Anyway, to your q

I thought about it, and I don’t think I would be happier not changing the pronunciation. This weird feeling is very minor, just a matter of curiosity, not something that bothers me. And one key difference is the said Portuguese R. It’s tric

My name is Rodrigo and I work remotely for an american company with only American teammates. When I say my name I pronounce the way Americans would pronounce it to simplify communication, but it always feels a little phony. Like I am making

I am a midlevel frontend developer. I had to look for a job one time per year for the last 3 years. 3 years ago I tried everything. I applied to (literally) hundreds of position. More than 100 on LinkedIn, which led to nothing (50% ghosted,

I don’t drink, I never did. In my twenties I would go out with friends that drunk a lot and had fun all the same. The thing is that I am not shy and I would engage in their drunk shenanigans on their level (while keeping an eye if things we

I agree. Specially if you type in a language that is not English, Android’s keyboard is much, much better. My iPhone, after 2 years of use, still doesn’t suggest my email and I have to type the whole thing
